Aldactone 100 mg (spironolactone) is a mild diuretic produced in many countries around the world. In medicine, such agents are used to treat hypertension, as they effectively reduce fluid and salt retention in the body. Aldactone® reduces the amount of aldosterone (the hormone responsible for the balance of body fluids) produced by the adrenal glands. This effect is actively used by bodybuilders who, for example, need to reduce the amount of subcutaneous fluid during competition. Aldactone® is a tool that slightly affects the level of potassium in the body, its effect is much weaker compared to Dyazide or Lasix. The action of Aldactone 100mg is significantly different from the action of stronger diuretics, which can significantly increase the level of potassium in the body. Therefore, during the reception of this tool can not take any funds containing potassium. High levels of potassium in the body can be deadly.

While taking diuretics, some side effects may manifest themselves. This may be dehydration, cramps, diarrhea, dizziness, headaches, anxiety, weakness, numbness of the extremities, disturbances in the work of the heart and not only. Such problems occur much less frequently while taking Aldactone®, but they must always be remembered. In addition, this tool has noticeable anti-androgenic properties. This is due to the fact that spironolactone has little effect on the binding process of androgens and cell receptors and slows down the process of testosterone biosynthesis. But since Aldactone 100mg is usually taken for a short period of time, its effect on the level of androgens in the body does not matter much.

Men usually take 100 mg of this drug daily, 1 time in the morning, which is very effective for subcutaneous excretion of fluid. So you can continue for 3-5 days before the competition, which will make your muscles more firm and prominent. An overdose of diuretics can lead to dehydration and spoil the appearance of your muscles, making the muscles "flat". This rarely happens while taking diuretics with a low potassium content, but, nevertheless, this possibility exists. Many athletes believe that Aldactone® is too mild and they prefer stronger products like Lasix and Hydrodiuril, which can lead to more serious consequences. Women rarely use this remedy because of its anti-androgenic effect. However, it can be used if androgen levels are very high during the steroid cycle to reduce the risk of masculinization. It is enough to take 25-75 mg per day for 1-2 weeks in order to prevent side effects at the time of androgen reduction (by the end of the steroid cycle). Although spironolactone has a significant effect on reducing the level of androgens produced by the body, compared to slowing down the action of these hormones, it should not be considered a panacea in all difficult cases, and especially in women.

This tool is considered one of the safest, so it is very suitable for use by novice athletes. Having become acquainted with the action of Aldactone 100mg and planning to achieve more significant results, you can additionally apply thiazide or furosemide (Lasix). In this case, overdose can be avoided in contrast to the cases of taking one of the mentioned remedies. Such a combination will provide faster withdrawal of fluid with less loss of calcium or potassium. In combination with hydrochlorothiazide, we can reduce the dose of Aldactone 100mg by half (100 mg) and add the same amount of thiazide. The combination of 50 mg to 50 mg will significantly accelerate the withdrawal of fluid without the manifestation of side effects. Thiazide will balance potassium absorption, so this dosage will not affect the level of potassium in the body. On the other hand, Lasix (furosemide) is a more effective ingredient in combination with Aldactone 100mg. A very popular approach in this case is to begin taking it, reducing the dose of Aldactone® to 50 mg and, adding 20 mg of Lasix orally, which will ensure the removal of fluid as in the case of taking the Lasix tablet 40 mg. The destructive effect of Lasix on potassium is neutralized by Aldactone®, so there is no need to take any additional funds. In Europe, this combination of diuretics is always on sale and very popular among athletes.
